Lyrics
Girl, you're getting that look in your eyes
And it's starting to worry me
I ain't ready for no family ties
Nobody's gonna hurry me
Just keep it friendly girl
'Cause I don't wanna leave
Don't start start clinging to me, girl
Cuz'I can't breathe
Baby, baby, don't get hooked on me
Baby, baby, don't get hooked on me
Cuz' I'll just use you then I'll set you free
Baby, baby, don't get hooked on me
You're a hot blooded woman child
And it's warm where you're touching me
And I can tell by your trembling smile
You're seeing way too much of me
Girl don't let your life get tangled up with mine
Cuz' I'll just use you, I can't take no clinging vine
Baby, baby, don't get hooked on me
Baby, baby, don't get hooked on me
Cuz' I'll just use you then I'll set you free
Baby, baby, don't get hooked on me
Baby, baby, don't get hooked on me
No, no, no, baby, baby, don't get hooked on me, no
Cuz' I'll just use then I'll set you free
Baby, baby don't get hooked on me
